Description
The entirety of the cat family. Everything from little house cats to big lions and cheetahs.
Taxonomically speaking, the term "feline" actually only refers to the Felinae subfamily, "felid" being the correct term to use for the entire Felidae family. Therefore, use `felid` to search the entire cat family and `feline` for the Felinae subfamily.
